Managing Standard Operating Envs with Ansible
summary
Shows how Ansible plus the linux_system_roles collection enforces a Standard Operating Environment across mixed RHEL platforms by applying kernel and crypto policies first (may reboot), then higher‑level services. Demonstrates a prebuilt playbook that deploys three hosts (one server, two clients) in about ten minutes, enabling t-log session recording, NFS exports, VPN/IPsec tunnels, centralized logging and metrics, and a bonded bridge/VLAN. Roles add features like LUKS encryption and wireless/DNS support; inventory is dynamic and configs live in Git for redeploy.
